A mini storage unit, or any storage unit facility, is used to store someone’s belongings under lock & key. You could have one or more mini storage baskets. Or, you might have a large, sectioned-off warehouse that can store a variety other types of storage. To ensure that their belongings are safe and secure, the owner will have to pay a monthly/yearly fee.
Renters of mini storage spaces who are late paying their rent will be notified and required to pay the amount. If the owner of the belongings fails to pay their rent, the management must recoup their losses. They will get the contents resold. Management must record and fill out several documents. They must then make the announcement in a public place at least two weeks before auction day that they will be auctioning off the contents of their unit. They must follow a legal process. This is usually not true if the renter is less than one month behind. The idea behind selling the contents is to recover storage rent losses.
The auction day will be announced once the mini storage auction is complete. People will turn up and register to bid for the mini storage contents. The auction will begin. The winning bidder pays the winning auction price and takes possession of the contents.
There are many options for how a mini storage or self-storage auction can be conducted. The number may need to be signed up, or the possibility of hand-raising bids. The auction process is something you should research before actually doing so. There may be stipulations that the contents must be moved within 24 hours or 48 hours of the auction closing.
You have many options for what is inside these mini storage boxes. You could find major appliances, small appliances, or antiques, as well as heirlooms. You may also find valuable items such as jewelry boxes, surprises and other treasures. To make a profit in a mini storage auction, you must have a bid that is lower than your transportation costs or higher than your resale costs. The basic idea is to recoup the cost of transportation and the auction bid price by selling the items. Anything greater than those two costs is considered a profit.
